Thankfully here in Northern Ireland a lot of the local councils are cheap skates when it comes to comms so lots are still on standard vhf or uhf radios. no airwave or mobile phones like a lot of mainland uk councils seem to use. Hopefully the DOE who provide the gritting here are still using the above frequency this year. With the budget restraints here i would say they will make the councils stick with what they have for a long time!

I think if i mind when i checked the frequency on ofcom wtr it came back as Paterson Electronics. Which is prob Northern Irelands biggest radio leasing company. i keep a section on my 3500xlt filled with all there frequencies and they can be very busy depending on where im at in N.i
